Comment
There can be differencies in position of lettering in both reverse and obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Speciedaler - Frederik III (Largesse issue) 1648 from Denmark is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Felicitas Publica" (meaning "Public Happiness") was mistakenly engraved as "Felicitas Privata" (meaning "Private Happiness"). This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
